Luther Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Scott Brown
Heady theological badminton, as vigorously thoughtful as it is piously historical.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
A few too many amateurish techniques and oversimplified confrontations hold Luther back a notch or two from greatness, and stamp it instead as entertaining Lutheran cheerleading.
Newsday
John Anderson
An informative immersion in the history of both Catholic and Protestant churches, and a rather refreshing take on medieval morality.
San Francisco Chronicle
Steven Winn
For all its scope and detail, Luther fails to convey the sense of history moved by a compelling individual.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Engrossing, as much for its history lesson as for its filmmaking.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
As the film veers uncertainly between meticulous historical recapitulation and shameless hokum, it brings enough characters to populate a mini-series.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
For a movie about a man of ideas, Luther is pretty exciting stuff.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Deadly material, full of self-righteousness and devoid of balance.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Curiously flat.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
An unholy mess.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
... I anticipated that Luther himself would be an inspiring figure, filled with the power of his convictions. What we get is an apologetic outsider with low self-esteem, who reasons himself into a role he has little taste for.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
After a summer of numbing mindlessness, there is something frankly refreshing about a movie that deals even superficially with as significant a figure as the rebellious 16th century theologian Martin Luther.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Though it fails when providing a rounded history of the life of Martin Luther, it succeeds in giving viewers a little taste of the other social factors influencing things during the 16th century in Europe.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Relentlessly hagiographical in its depiction of Luther distorts Catholic theology and history, consistently skewing its portrayal to put Luther in the best possible light while making his opponents seem as unreasonable as possible.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
An entertaining history lesson.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Shot on 100 locations in three countries and outfitted with impressive props, costumes, art direction and medieval streets, Luther makes up for what it lacks in vigorous storytelling with such production values.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Luther is a film that you know will end with one of those codas telling us what a profound life he led. But the movie itself just doesn't leave that kind of footprint.
Washington Post
Jen Chaney
It's just unfortunate that a movie about such a daring man ultimately takes few risks.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Even with Joseph Fiennes as a visceral, intellectual Martin Luther, the latest bigscreen take on the Christian reformer proceeds like a stultifying history pageant rather than a movie with a pulse of its own.
Orlando Sentinel
More professional and competent than inspiring.
